Ymgarls Part 1!

I have had my last three Nid projects in states of semi-completion for a while now. The last three things I am working on are my Flying Hive Tyrant (already converted, just needs basing and painting), 20 Gargoyles (built, primed, based with 1 test model done) and my 10 Ymgarl Genestealers (finally built).

I finally got a bit of time to do some work on converting up the Ymgarls and I decided I wanted to make them look different than the regular stealers but not go completely wacky on the conversions (so more of a subtle change). I have looked at the drawings for the Ymgarls and based my slight conversion off of that:

So, looking at the picture I knew I would need the feeder tenticle head (obviously) and the middle claw on their rending claw hands are also elongated. So below is what you will need to do this conversion:

The main thing to change the overall profile of the stealer other then the head are the rending clawed hands. So, for all of mine I cut the middle claw out and replaced it with talon from the Hormagaunt Scything Talons:

Here is what it looks like when you throw all the pieces together:

Next up: Is going to be about how I base this army and basing in general and what it can do for the overall feel for your army. After that I will be expanding on the painting tutorial I did a year or two ago and I will go more in depth on which colours I used for this army and the actual technique of how to get the "carapace" for this army.

Nice,another cool idea is to cut off a Genestealers scything talon at the wrist and the after a bit of trimming stick it back on so that the talon follows the line of the arm.Looking forawrd to the painting tutorial!
